Homemade jams, jellies, and preserves have a special flavor that the commercially prepared varieties cannot compete with. Jelly is made from fruit juice. It is clear and firm enough to hold its own shape when turned out of the container. Jam is made from crushed or ground fruit, tends to hold its shape but generally is less firm than jelly. Preserves are whole fruits or large pieces of fruit in a thick sirup, often slightly jellied. All of these products can be successfully prepared in the home by following the directions carefully. There are four essential ingredients in jellied fruit products — fruit, sugar, pectin, and acid. The fruit gives the characteristic flavor to the ' product. Sugar helps in gel formation, serves as a preserving agent and contributes to the flavor of the jellied product. Beet and cane sugar can be used with equal success. Some fruits have enough natural pectin to make high quality products. Others require added pectin for a firm product Acid is needed for flavor and for gel formation One common problem in making homemade jelly is a cloudy product This can be. due to one or several reasons: pouring jelly mixture into glasses too slowly, allowing jelly mixture to stand before it is poured, juice not properly strained, or the jelly set too fast which is usually the result of using fruit that is too green Weeping jelly can be caused by too much acid, paraffin too thick or the storage place too warm. If you have room in your freezer, frozen jams are easy to make and very* satisfactory Be sure to follow the recipes carefully since proportions of ingredients vary with different fruits For more information on jams, jellies, and preserves, stop by the County Extension Office and pick upacopyof "How to make Jams.
